Course learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course students should be able to solve problems involving continuous-time signals, discrete-time signals, and linear time-invariant systems. Students should be able to use the Fourier transform, and Laplace Transform to solve such problems with applications in circuits, communications, controls, and signal processing.

 

Topics covered

Continuous-time signals and systems - 4 hours.

Fourier series and Fourier transform with applications in circuits and communications (e.g. filters, frequency response, sampling, and modulation) - 12 hours.

Laplace transform with application in circuits and controls - 8 hours.

Discrete-time signals and systems - 4 hours.

Convolution for continuous-time and discrete -time systems - 4 hours.

Discrete-time Fourier transform - 6 hours.

Tests and reviews - 4 hours.
